Matthew "Max" Kennedy and his daughter Caroline were arrested this weekend in Hyannis on disorderly conduct charges, according to police.

Barnstable Police Lt. John Murphy said officers responded to reports of a loud party on Irving Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. yesterday. He said both Kennedys were charged with disorderly conduct and violating the town's noise law.

"It's if noise is audible for a distance of 150 feet away," Murphy said, saying the law was punishable by a $100 fine and arrest. "It's a loud party statute, that's what it's used for."

No other people appeared to be arrested at the party, Murphy said.

Both Kennedys were bailed out that night. A spokeswoman for the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office said Max Kennedy, 52, was arraigned today on a charge of disorderly conduct. His pretrial hearing is set for Nov. 22.

Caroline Kennedy, 23, was not arraigned and her arraignment was continued until Nov. 22.
